WI ‘A’ make meal of winning

FLORENCE HALL, Jamaica – West Indies A nearly squandered what should have been easy win, losing a hatful of wicket before limping over the line, to win the opening four-day “Test” today.

Resuming at the Trelawny Multi-Purpose Stadium on 31 for one with a mere 75 runs required for victory, the hosts made their way safely to 51 without further loss before suffering a sudden capitulation to lose seven wickets for 47 runs.

Suddenly tottering on 98 for eight and with defeat a real possibility, Windies A were rescued by all-rounder Rahkeem Cornwall who held his nerve to end on 14 not out and see them to a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
